This served a 3 fold benefit. 1) Kept their necks warm as the picture above states. 2) The loose end was used to clean the oil from the engine that would spray onto their goggles. 3) Part of the scarf was stuffed under their goggles to form a kind of mask. This prevented the castor oil (a natural laxative) from being ingested by the pilots as it was propelled onto their face.

Fri, 27 Feb 2015 02:06:00 +0000http://artofmanliness.com/?p=23005#comment-1146389My understanding of the whole thing is that Romans wore scarves to protect the neck from chafing on armor. This evolved into the cravat that was supposed to protect the neck from a blade cut (not so much). I have wore a scarf and/or tie since the 50’s. All kinds, and I do not care what the gen pop thinks.

All I did was after I finished the once around, I fed the tail sat on top of the loop, under and inside the loop and back out front, this would stop the air from catching it and blowing it off my shoulder. It was still almost the same look as the once around, except a bit more wrinkled and slightly bulkier, but it still looked good.

Thu, 20 Mar 2014 22:34:28 +0000http://artofmanliness.com/?p=23005#comment-588980I just linked to this article in a recent blog entry I made – http://eyeloveknots.blogspot.com/2014/03/crochet-adult-ribbing-scarf-in-blue.html.

I like my scarfs to be 5.5″ wide so I’ve made my boyfriends scarfs 5.5″ wide as well, but after reading this article, I decided to make them a little wider at 6.5″.
Thanks!

A thick wool crocheted scarf (what you called a blanket) is the most requested Christmas item by men I know. A thin flannel quilted neck warmer with thinsulate in it is also aways a winner. When you are cold, you do what works. These work.
